The Bhagavad Gita's Timeless Wisdom for Contemporary Workplaces

Author(s) Dr. Trupti Sandeep Thorat
Country India
Abstract Western business theories and models, predominantly developed and tested within Western cultural contexts, often yield optimal results in those environments. However, their applicability to the distinct cultural landscape of India requires careful consideration. Given the significant differences in value systems between India and Western nations, the cultural validity of these Western models is questionable. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the applicability of existing Western business theories in India and develop indigenous business theories that are more aligned with Indian cultural values and practices.
This study investigates the relevance of Bhagavad Gita principles to contemporary management practices. It identifies core Bhagavad Gita principles applicable to holistic management, examines the obstacles to implementing such principles (particularly within a Bhagavad Gita-inspired framework), and offers recommendations for their integration into modern organizational settings.
Utilizing secondary data sources like electronic media, books, research papers, journals, and speeches from spiritual leaders, the research reveals the Bhagavad Gita's promotion of spiritual management, emphasizing well-being, work-life balance, and ethical decision-making. Key principles identified include ethical leadership, effective communication, self-motivation, and teamwork. The study suggests that organizations can overcome challenges by embracing the Bhagavad Gita's teachings, incorporating them into policies, procedures, and codes of conduct, and seeking guidance from experts or spiritual leaders. This research offers valuable insights for academics and practitioners interested in integrating holistic and ethical principles into modern management and leadership approaches.
